If we're going to go down that path, perhaps it might make sense to just define a standard [setup_requires] section in setup.cfg? Quite a few projects already have one of those thanks to distutiils2, d2to1 and pbr, which means the pragmatic approach here might be to ask what needs to change so the qualifier can be removed from this current observation in the PBR docs: "The setup.cfg file is an ini-like file that can mostly replace the setup.py file." The build system abstraction config could then also just be another setup.cfg section.
